Cale crossed his arms and stared at Fredo as he started to speak again.

�It looks like you are not going to tell me where they are.�

Fredo did not disagree with that statement.

�They are safe. Ah, but we did suck some blood from them in order to trick both allies and enemies while we were on the northern snowy mountains.�

Solena urgently interjected.

�Sucked their blood?! My liege, you must not use such phrasing! Mm! Young master-nim, the amount was very minimal. It was only a tiny bit that we couldn�t help but absorb while pretending to take their blood. Everybody is safe.�

She smiled as gently as possible toward Cale.

�This is the truth.�

�Who said it wasn�t?�
�Excuse me?�

Cale shrugged his shoulders toward Solena and then stared back at Fredo.
Fredo smiled at him and started to speak again.

�I will let you know where the Ranger Brigade members are if you properly destroy the facility that would turn the White Star into a member of the Demonic race.�
�It�s not enough.�
�What?�

Cale looked right at Fredo and shook his head.

�There are not enough benefits for me.�

��You�ll prevent the White Star from becoming a member of the Demonic race and manage to save over half of the Ranger Brigade members that you thought were dead. But that�s still not enough benefits for you?�

Smirk.

Cale started to smirk.

�Well, I would have made that deal if things had proceeded according to Fredo�s plan.�

If Cale had followed the map to the Endable Kingdom and met with Fredo as he had originally planned� And then if he had heard about the Ranger Brigade members still being alive at that moment�

Cale would have made the deal as Fredo wanted.

�But the situation is different now.�

The situation had changed.
Shouldn�t he earn more benefits while he could do so?

Cale uncrossed his arms and leaned his upper body toward the bed. JrNovels.com
